Zoning Variation — Docket# 03-02— 1245 Hemlock Drive
Chairman Kaplan called the meeting to order at 7:00 P.M. and read the legal
notice. The petitioner, Mr. John Long was sworn in and asked to present his
case.
Mr. Long explained that the variation was necessary to construct an adequately
sized garage due to the size of the lot and the location of the principal structure.
He stated that building the garage in a location that conformed to the setback
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance would place it approximately one foot from
the house, and also make it more difficult to maneuver vehicles into and out of
the garage.
Mr. Childress asked how close the new driveway would be to the adjacent
property. Mr. Long stated that there was enough room to facilitate the
construction of the driveway with a green area of approximately two feet between
the driveway and the lot line.
Mr. Oliveto asked if any of the neighbors had objected to the project. Mr. Long
stated that he discussed it with the neighbor next door and there were no
objections voiced by the neighbor,
Mr. Schumm asked if final construction drawings had been prepared for the
garage and inquired about what would be done with the existing attached
garage. Mr. Long explained that drawings had not yet been prepared and that
the existing garage would be convened to a bedroom. Mr. Schumm then asked
if there would be a drainage problem created by the project. Mr. Long explained
that the Village Engineering Department would evaluate and approve final
grading for the property.
Mr. Walz asked about fencing on the property and expressed a concern that the
area around the new garage must be maintained so that it does not become an
eyesore for the neighbors.
Mr. Franke inquired about drainage concerns and added that the Village recently
completed drainage improvement projects in that area.
A motion was made by Mr. Childress to grant the variation as described in the
legal notice. The motion was seconded by Mr. Oliveto and passed by unanimous
vote.
The petitioner was advised to contact the Village Clerk to find out when the
matter will be considered by the Mayor and Board of Trustees, and was directed
to attend the Village Board meeting.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:20 N.M.
Respectfully submitted,
